Dark Souls II Beta Delayed, Sign-Ups Start Today

Dark Souls fans interested in signing up for the previously announced beta for Dark Souls II should know that there's been some rearranging of the dates associated with this deadly dose of diabolically good fun.

It's a good news/bad news situation for Dark Souls fans today, so let's start with the bad news since fans of the game probably like that sort thing.

THE BAD: The previously announced PS3-exclusive Dark Souls II beta has been delayed by a week and will now begin on October 12 instead of October 5. There will also be a second round of beta testing beginning October 27, 2013.

THE GOOD: Those interested in checking out the beta can sign up beginning today by visiting this page on the Sony PlayStation Network website where you'll get additional details about the beta.

Dark Souls II is set to arrive on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in March 2014. Until then, check out the above E3 gameplay video to help hold you over.
